Handbrake sudden shutdown: Solved!

Handbrake shuts down machine

My i5-460M laptop running handbrake 0.9.9 - 0.10.2 suddenly shuts down.

I had the temperature monitor up one day and noticed that the temp. quickly went from 49*C to 100*C, the fans become very noisy and then shuts down the machine.

Used cpulimit but encode goes down to around 20 fps if I want to keep the temps down below 90*C.

The fan goes into high speed mode and even though I vacuumed the vents didn't make much of a difference.  I wonder if the heat sink has come off the cpu.

I will try older version of handbrake or maybe limit thread=1.

Note:  The BIOS is doing the thermal shutdown (which is good) before damage to cpu occurs. 

Build FAILS: Handbrake 0.9.9 on OS X 10.9.3 Mavricks

follow handbrake build instructions for OS X:
https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileGuide


result:

********* BUILD FAILS

what now:

If you have installed any utilties like autoconf automake under /usr/local/bin/ while trying to build remove those.

When you installed Xcode 5.1.3 from the App Store you probably didn't know you also have to install the command line tools.  Type this into a terminal window:

xcode-select --install

Handbrake is great video processing software, use it to convert DVDs into more usable mp4, mkv, movie files.

Type these commands at the terminal:

Add handbrake to your list of repositories:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases

update the list:
sudo apt-get update

more info.

Then you can use Ubuntu Software Center to install handbrake-gtk (GUI version).
Typing ghb will launch the handbrake application.

Enjoy!
